Description

Soft, golden breadsticks stuffed with melty mozzarella cheese, seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce. These cheesy breadsticks make an irresistible Italian-inspired appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Dough and Cheese

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks

Toppings and Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the breadsticks evenly.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface, then cut it into 8 equal strips.
  3. Wrap Cheese: Place one mozzarella string cheese stick in the center of each dough strip and tightly wrap the dough around the cheese, making sure to seal the edges well to prevent the cheese from leaking during baking.
  4. Arrange Breadsticks: Place the wrapped breadsticks seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to maintain shape while baking.
  5. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic until combined. Brush this mixture generously over each breadstick.
  6. Season: Sprinkle the breadsticks evenly with Italian seasoning and grated parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the breadsticks become golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm, with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough edges are sealed tightly around the cheese sticks to prevent any cheese leakage during baking.
  • For extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle additional grated parmesan cheese on top immediately after baking while the breadsticks are still warm.
  • Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving to avoid burning from hot melted cheese.
